It can't be better, a fantastic song, a perfect band and a phenonenemal Ian, my all time favourite performer and singer.

It's not screaming, and it's not just a high key of a tone. It literally is a sound coming from his soul which hit the people who's listening this master piece.

"It's a young man's song, " is so true! I remember trying to reach those crescendos in my car, in the shower, middle of the woods... where no one would be subjected to the auditory torture of my failures. But sometimes, I nailed it. And there's no in between, you either nail it, or you sound like a cat being burned alive. I can still hit the "ooooh's" but those are way out of my range, and that makes me nostalgic.

I love their honesty as to the origins of their songs.
Child in time has to be up there with the very best rock songs of all time.

The more I see Gillan in interviews, the more I see he’s just the Best type of human being. Humble and down to earth.

He did sing it occasionally when Steve Morse joined the band, but he struggled with the highest part, so stopped doing it. Then in 2002 I saw Purple and they played the song, the first time since 1995 (Def Leppard's Joe Elliott was also there) and Ian hit that top section beautifully, I had tears in my eyes and the entire place was on it's feet at the end of the song, giving Ian a well deserved standing ovation. I will never forget it.

Gillan is a pure genius. When you think he can't do any higher, thats it, he just DOES. Great band of Golden Age of rock.

35 years ago, 13 years of age, hearing Child in Time for the first time, this was very much a revelation to me: was it really possible that music could be like...THIS??? The song has been my favorite ever since.

[AllSpace]

Perfect Strangers tour '85... live Purple is fantastic Purple! Better live than recording. Master musicians, other worldly. Thank you DP!!!

Thanks guys for giving us that performance, I feel for Ian, two of my friends had to stop singing completely due health issues.

[mikekmalick]

This is my all-time favorite song and I love singing it and screaming like a crazy man!

[tubester]

Live in Japan is one of the best live albums ever. One of my favourite albums of all time.

[matthewbrown]

I love Deep Purple. They created some of the best hard rock songs in that amazing era of music. However, Child in Time remains my favorite D P song, its fantastic.
